The SW is cheaper than the Tempest, although the seller of the Tempest is someone here, I know where it came from etc (although it doesn't have the low stress conversion, but hey).

Yeah, I was thinking "the both" as well. Faaaark.

As the old saying goes, so little money + space - so many cabs....

My pinball mate is putting in for planning permission for a garden extension that'll help a bit....but it's not "now"....and believe it or not, even though he's a child of the late 60s he never saw Tempest nor SW!

the cockpit SW is up there with an R360 (ok, a bit higher in the possibility side, but not that much).

It's not that I don't like a stand-up SW. Of course I do! The probability of me parting with a stand-up SW is the square root of minus one, unless a sit-down came along (and I magically had the space...).

I love the cockpit also, although having played the upright and cockpit at Arcade Club i find the upright easier to get a better score on, the cockpit is better for atmosphere but now i'm an adult (alledgedly) it's harder to cram myself in the cockpit, and my knees get in the way of the flight yoke!

I think in terms of “wow” factor, the SW would win.I’d definitely play the Tempest more tho, and tbh I don’t have the space for wall-flowers.No idea what the kids would think though...that’s the tricky part.

I bought a Tempest recently, and i adore it. Great game, and the cab is quite possibly the best design from back in the golden age. Stunning. I think the only thing that lets it down is the sound effects, which are a bit mundane.

Never saw it back in the day. But really fancied an Atari colour vector and ended up with Tempest without ever having played a credit on the game before. Clever game. And very arcade. Top shooter too. Love the red screens in particular - the whole play to the beat thing .... puts me in 'the zone'.
